         Remove the Berkeley DB database specified by the database name
         <span class="bold"><strong>file</strong></span> and [database] name arguments. 
         If no <span class="bold"><strong>database</strong></span> is specified, the
         physical file represented by <span class="bold"><strong>file</strong></span> is
         removed, incidentally removing all databases that it contained.
    </p>
      <p>
         No reference count of database use is maintained by Berkeley DB. 
         Applications should not remove databases that are currently in use.

        The options are as follows:

                 Rijndael/AES (also known as the Advanced Encryption Standard and
                 Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 197) algorithm.

                 Specify the already existing database is encrypted with the given
                 password.  This option is used if the database is known to be
                 encrypted, but the specific algorithm used is not known.

                 If a <span class="bold"><strong>-env</strong></span> argument is given, the
